2012 MLB Regular Season Running Thread

Chugga-chugga-chugga-choo-choo.

 

But it's still pretty funny.

 

White Sox trade for Brett Myers. Great, a new closer I can't root for.

 

Not a very violent collision to be sure, but he DID knock him completely out of the frame.

 

And the Mets bullpen is so bad they turn to R.A. Dickey in the ninth and he gives up a pair.

 

Both starting pitchers hit home runs in the third inning of Giants-Phillies.

 

From Jayson Stark on Twitter:

 

Always liked prince fielder despite the fact he was a brewer. Doesn't play the way he looks. Maximum effort all the time every time I see him. Plus he told his jackass pops to kiss his ass, which is always a plus.

Holy crap. Beckham's reaction is great.

 

Matt Garza, who the Cubs have been dangling for months, left today's game with triceps tightness. Cubs are calling it cramps, but we'll see.

 

As of tonight, there is a flat-footed three-way tie for the second AL wild card between Oakland, Chicago and Baltimore. The Angels are only a half-game ahead in the first wild card.
